rav trap is the best anti dredge card, but isn't very versatile. Bog and Tormod's Crypt are both worth considering since they are also playable vs living end, where rav trap doesn't do anything against that deck.

They are enough to give you a chance, but Shriekmaw will trump the Mage and they see more cards than you. Fulminator and Violent Outburst are pretty effective against Negate as well. Knights will get you a lot of value if you have a Bog in your list someplace (even if it is 3 trap/1 bog because that is all you can afford for space against the 'yard).

So I know a bunch of you are done with extended for the season, but I think we're going to Montreal and there's still one more modo q. I have 3 different zoo lists that are all in contention. I feel like at least online the meta is so skewed toward Theps that it and the mirror are essentially all you should worry about even at the expense of other matchups. This first version is with that in mind:

Also I have come to the somewhat starteling revelation that lightning helix is just better than bolt in the current meta, and that if we have to cut one it should be bolt. Helix is so critical to the mirror that whoever plyes the most helices often wins.

In this deck I'm still not sure if bloodbraid or less land and more gas are better.

Finally the deck that does the most broken things, but is sometimes underwhealming Blood Zoon. The biggest problem with theis deck is that almost has to run damping matrix which does sometimes buy you a turn but SUCKS.
